Notes on Seasonings

Pomi de Mori
trans. Pommes
d’amour

tomata

remain cautious
to true potential



Rochelle

Chop almost
into dust.

Decide what to do
later.

Three sprigs tied with
cotton, to the leaf

a different alchemy.



Marmande

I’m beginning to see the light

Elizabeth makes a plea
in the 1960s.

To appreciate
the remnants of
summer bounty,
save for autumn
or winter.

Jane follows up
in the 1970s.



Noir Puur

Mercury

Trails white
